Answer:
2 x minus y = negative 6 and 3 x minus y = negative 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2(x+3) = 2x + 6 or 2x - y = -6
y = 5 + 3x or 3x - y = -5
(-y+5x3)+(7.2y-9)=6.2y+n
(-y+15)+(7.2y-9)=6.2y+n
since you're adding the two parentheses, you don't need to have them there
-y+15+7.2y-9=6.2y+n
7.2y-y +15-9 =6.2y+n
6.2y + 6 =6.2y+n
6.2y - 6.2y -n = -6
-n=-6
n=6
When calculating consecutive integers, the smaller number is x and the larger number is (x + 1).
So the equation you can use is x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
This is because the sum of the consecutive integers are equal to 5 more than 3 times the larger integer.
Now simplify:
x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3x + 3
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Now isolate the variable:
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Subtract 2x from both sides:
1 = x + 8
Subtract 8 from both side:
-7 = x
x = -7
So the smaller number is -7 and the larger number is -6.
Now check your answer:
-7 + (-7 + 1) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 - 6 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-6)
-13 = 5 + (-18)
-13 = 5 - 18
-13 = -13
This works!
So the integers are -7 and -6.
You dont have a picture so idk the answer but its most likely E if thats an answer choice.
